The many cases of rheumatism cured by Chamberlain's Pain Balm during the past few mouths have given the people treat con fidence in its curative properties, and have shown that there is one preparation that can be depended upon for that painful and aggravating disease. Honaker Bros., Lor ain. Ohio, say: ''Mr. Moses Price, of this place, was troubled with rheumatism for a long time. Chamberlain's Pain Balm has cured him. He says that the Balm has no equal."

BIRDS OF PASSAGE Between this and the other side of the broad Atlantic, in the sh.-ipe of tourists, commer cial travelers and mariners, agents "on the road," stcnintioat captains, ship's surgeons and "all sorts and conditions" of travelers, emigrant and new settlers appreciate and testify to the preventive and remedial prop erties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in sea sickness, nausea, malaria and rheumatic trouble, and all disurders of the stomach, liver and bow-Is. Against the prejudicial influences of climate, crudely cooked or un accustomed diet and impure water, it is a soveriVn safeguard, aud has been so re- garded by the traveling public for over a third of a century. No form of malarial fever, from the caleutura of the Pacific and the broken bone fever of the Mississippi, to its milder types, can resist the enrative ac tion of this benignant preserver and restorer of health, a veritable boon to persons iu feeble health or liable to incur disease.

Highest o. ill in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. few r I V IS ABSOLUTELY PURS DESTROYED BY FIRE AND AGAIN AT WORK. The Price Baking Towder Company of Chicago, which is known throughout the country for tha superior excellence of its Baking Powder, met with a serious loss on J the morning of May 18, in the nearly total destruction by fire of its factory and office s. No sooner had the flames been subdued than the work of restoration commenced and the company by prudnt foresight, having had stored in outside warehouses duplicate ma chinery, labels and supplies of raw materials in preparation for any emergency was ena- ' bled by energetic management to resume ' manufacturing within a very few days after the fiic, thereby causing its customers but a 1 trifling delay in the filling of their orders, i Had the company not been so prepared the delay would have been very serious since it would have required months of time to get new machinery. It is now forty years since the goods man ufactured by this company were first placed on the market, to Dr. Price being due the distinction or having prepared the first can of Cream of Tartar Baking Powder ever manufactured in any country. It was a great discovery, superceding as it did the old method of using cream of tartar and soda separately, to say nothing of saleratus, with which the biscuit of early days was embit tered. The Price Company has no connec'ion whatever with any other baking powder company or manufacturer, notwithstanding representations to the contrary made by other manufacturers whose sole aim is to de ceive the public and borrow the good name and fame acquired by the Dr. Price Baking Powder, which is known all over the world as the purest and " most perfect made." John Otterstedt, an experienced black smith and woodworker, has formed a part, nership with Jos. Caskey in the blacksmith ingand wagon making business. They have excellent facilities for currying on these avocations in conjunction, and start out with flattering prospects. GUARDIANS' SALE.

The picnic at Ridden' grove, near Wells last Saturday was attended en masse by the people of the vicinity and many delegations from distant localities were present. It was given under the auspices of Soap Creek Grange No. 14, P. of H.,' aud the organiza tion is entitled to the credit of having given excellent entertainment. Profs. French aud Letcher, of the O. A. O., were prest ut-aud addressed the gathering. Judge Boise also spoke at considerable length con cerning agricultural matters, and was listen ed to with deep interest. Other literary exercises graced the occasion, while the Marine band discoursed music ia quantity aud quality to the highest SiUiefactioa of all. A PICNIC INCIDENT, Brass bands, like other organizations, have their code of ethics of which the wives and sweethearts are not permitted a full knowledge, and it seems to them very sin gular that they are so seldom allowed to ac company the musicians on their profession.-.l tours. The Marine band, of course, is "all right,' but the nriembera are a good-looking set, and those who are entitled to their un divided affection entertain a suspicion that the boys are susceptible. On Saturday morning after the band wagons had pulled out for Ridders' grove, where the Marines were expected to awaken the Soap Creek echoes, three young ladies who regarded themselves as auxiliaries of the band, decided to take conveyance, at tend the picuic incognito, and discover, if possible, any evidences of iuconstancy on the part of the objects of their affections. A magnificient luncheon was obtained at a restaurant and after other necessary prepar ation the ladies started for the picnic in an ticipation of interesting developments. The trio drove a 2:20 horse and they dusted ever j thing on the road; but at a stage of the drive the horse became frightened aud bolted off at a runaway speer'. A general assoit nent of merchandise flew from the buggy and a witness some distance iu tha rear thought a cyclone had struck a junk shop in the neighborhood, . When the ladies had been successfully deposited in different fence comers the horso broke loose from the vehicle and soon after left his harness on a protruding fence stake. He then turned to view with admiration, the success of his efforts. A good natnred German came along and gathered up the shreds of millinery and other picnic toggery, the mangled remains of a couple of baked Jchickens, etc., together with other shattered remnauts of the once joyous party. The ladies were, fortuuately, not physically injured, and they settled down to await the first opportunity for assistance. A Corvallis hack soon passed that way aud carried the young ladies to the picnic grounds, but they were in no hnmor to carry out their original designs. Their arrival and appearance transformed the Marine band into a geuuiue surprise party. W. W. Tlolgate, the well-known uphols terer and cabinet maker, is now employed in Knight's furniture factory.

It is whispered that a partial u nion of the college and the public school will take place shortly, which possibly accounts, for at least one of the resignations from the public school service. After the ceremony the contracting parties will Btart on a tour of the Eastern States and visit the world's fair. President Whitaker, of the Willamette University, and J. A. Townsend, Ph.

Some thirty years ago Miss Casseday was made a life-long cripple by a dreadful accident, and from her "sick bed" for years past has gone out this loving Ministry of flowers. What is the flower mission? Let me an swer in Miss C.tsjeday's owu words: "What is a flower mission? It is a mission whose aim is to lead burdened souls Up to Christ and to teach them to cast their cares on Him who careth for them; whose work is to cheer and comfort all who need a friend, and to help the poor to help themselves; and whose text is, 'Bear ye one another's bur dens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.' The flowers are used mcrerly as a wedge. Their beauty, purity, and fragrance teach ing of love of God, who made them, and of the human sympathy which brings them, open the heart to gratitude and prepare the way for the entering in of the little text card which they must always have attached to them. They can do no real good without this card, which must contain a message from God's o-vn Word." The 9th of June, is the birthday of this beloved sister who has just a few weeks siuce been "called home", to the mansions above. Friday evening at 7:45, a memorial service will be held at the M. E. church of this city with the following programme. Organ Voluntcry, Mrs. L. H. Addition. Opening Hymn, "When peace like a river-'' Prayer, Mrs. Kantner. Scripture Reading, A. L. McFadden.

CITY COUNCIL. On Monday evening the city council met, this being the meeting at which newly elect ed members take their seats. Mayor Burnett called the council to order and the roll of the old members as well as of the new ones was called. The mayor then read his annual message, and the councilmen aud mayor elect were duly installed. The session was leugthly, but no real business in additinn'was transacted except to appoint Wm. Hartleys superintendent of street work. There was considerable con fusion throughout the meeting, the cause of which was " the conflicting construction placed upon two sections of the charter. The election, at the previous meeting, of J. M. Davis as chief of police, by four couucil men, seven being present, and nine consti tuting the full number, bi ought up the mat ter at Monday's meeting. Previously it had been the custom to require a majority of all tho councilmen to constitute an election of officers chosen by the couucil, this requisite being based on section 8, of the charter, which reads in part: "Tho police judge, street superintendent, and chief of police and sur veyor shall be appointed by the majority of the members of the couucil, and they shall hold office," etc. Upon the occasion of Mr. Davis' choice as above stated, Mayor Burnett ruled that he was duly elected, basing his ruling on section 35 of the char ter which says: "A majority of the whole number constituting the council, as then provided by law, (First Monday in June next following any general election) is a majority of the council or members thereof within the meaniug of this act, and not otherwise unless expressly provided. The concurrence of V majority of a quorum is a sufficient majority to determine any ques tion or matter other than the final passage of an ordinance." Lively discussion was indulged Mouday evering and the members who held 'that section 8 was the law occupied the field at the close of the session. Eight members only were present however, and much will depend on the course of the ninth member. In the meantime Scrafford, tlitf present chief, continues in office. FAVORABLE ASPECT. "A portion of the San Francisco excursion ists returned to the valley on Monday, while others remained in the city to inrther pursue the object of their visit. Those from this vicinity who returned are J. O. Wilson and wife, C. L. Beach, S. N. Wil kins, J. B. Walker aud S. L. Kline. They are all enthusiastic over the result of the trip, believing that the inducements offered by wholesale houses in San Francisco will lead to more intimatn trade relations with Western- Oregon, and Eastern Oregon, when a little more progress is made on the Oregon Pacific. The dealers in San Francisco had a tangible object in spending three or four thousand dollars in entertain ing the excursionists they did not do it for eharity's sake. By having the Oregon merchants- visit them they thought they could, by becoming acquainted aud setting forth their advantages, obtain the trade of this section, Suu Francisco is) anxious to sell, Oregon has tire money or produce to buy with, and no local pride merely will in duce her merchants to sacrifice margins ou large invoices. Consumers share the ad vantages of the retaieer, and onr people are to be congratulated npon the favorable as pect of the matter in hand.

It is not our purpose to write titg entire" history of the organization, although aucht an article might be interesting reading. We desire Chiefly to glance back at a few of the yearly mile-stones which dot thrf forward march of Said club. In fSS4 wo arrived at our first anniversary; we cele brated by a ball, tickets vere on sale pub' licly, any fireman who "was not iu it," had only himself to blame. 1885 Was also? celebrated in' a like imn- . , n luuv uur miuuai anniversary LOOIfi the form of a social party when it banner1 was presented ro the firemen, and it would have been like the pl.iy of Shakespere's1 Hamlet, with Hamlet left out, to' imagine) the firemen "not in it" oh such ah Occasion A memorable excursion was run' to the' Summit on the date of our 1887 anniversary. The invitation was of a decidedly public nature. Those firemen who were "hot in it," simply were so from choice. In 1883 came the picnic at Avery's) grove, where the firemen were conspicuous by their absence, but it was not oil account of lack of "social popularity"' as every ef' fort was made to have everyone go; In 1889, as our public affairs had certainly' not been over well patronized,- we held reunion in the H. & L. flail, and we dis- tinctly remember seeing a fair attendance of firemen and we held this anniversary at the H. & L. Hall by express invitation of th ll.iL boys. A moonlight excursion on the beautiful Willamette proved very disastrous fiiian' cially. The firemen certainly "were no8 in it," much to the dissapbiutment of ths L. C. C. C. Do these pages of history bear out thsr testimony of our would-be critic as to there being "select invitation affairs?" This attack is really not a new gfowfj only an old one just a little louder. Several years ago, wo do not recall thel exact year, the same complaint was mads iu a somewhat modified fjriri. and as we T lQQf? 1 - . .. were filling quits an important office, wa personally went to the chief of each de partment aud obtained a correct list of the entire tire department and took great pains to see that a formal invitatiou went out Do you want to know the result? Three firemen, among those not usually orit to our 8 cial meetings, responded. Passing oyer other years, we will only recall the fact that at the celebration of '92, (a leap yeat party, each member of the departmen hav ing a special invitation,)' two out side of the regular number responded. It looks as though the firemen were not so badly treated after all. Oue fact ought to ber mentioned in this review c f things. No) lady is invited to our socials who is nob either an active or honorary member ot the club. You can at ouce see th.itjit is rather' a difficult matter toj.iuvite s'oine firemen whose wife will not "be in it." We believe the hVemeo nWt only under' stand this but see the need of such a law among ourselves. The firemen's wives, daughters and sweethearts belong in tffe club, why are they not there? They cer taiuly have not been shut out. This last reunion wr s a teiy tastily got ten up affair merely that the anniversary should not pass by unnoticed1.- We' had not planned to have a celebration aTone this year, but asj we had been asked W hold a joint celebration ofi the 20th witht the firemen, on the occasion of the dedi cation of their new hall, the ladies had gladly accepted the invitation to celebrate together, aud had waited to do' so np to a few days prior to anniversary date, when finding the firewett not ready, wo con' eluded to hold a social in an informal m in ner and to hold ourselves iu readiness to do what we could to make the (fcdiontioi ay success also to in reality have our big; celebratiou theu. Positive we are that no thought of sin' gling out any favored few was in the minds of the ladies, or any slight ' whatever in tended. It is always well to remember', that there is more thau one side to an story.
